Not to know wtf Shoogle means

[CrapBucket]

Keep getting a sponsor thread shown to me - ‘You can shoogle it like a pram’ - that’s lovely but I have no idea what that means and I clicked the link and still don’t know…

Never heard this word before but it is now definitely being added to vocabulary and used as much as I possibly can. Luckily I have a baby so can defo do some shoogling of pram 😁

Like if you were wanting to cover veg in butter and seasoning in a bowl
Give it a shoogle. Like a shake

I don't think I could get through my days without using the word shoogly.

I cannot believe squint is a Scottish thing!!!

Children’s teeth are shoogly before they fall out.

In our house we shoogle the duvet when we put a new cover on it. DH is Scottish .

I'd never heard it before I moved to Scotland (likewise outwith - both good words!).

Surely it’s a downie you shoogle, not a duvet?

@LorraineBainMcFly Jings crivvins help ma boab it getting shooglier by the minute

I'd say shiggle (I'm Welsh)

A downie IS a duvet surely?

We call that wobbly, even as Scottish folk. Never heard of shoogly teeth, though I suppose it works....

HAHA! I'm Scottish and I get it. Mind you, it's not a word you hear as much these days. I'm 38 and it was something I heard more when I was a kid. Seems weird to use it in an advert but maybe that's the point, now loads of people are talking about them so job done, I guess.

My DP is from Devon originally. He's been in Glasgow for 8 years and still gets caught off guard by random Scotttish phrases. He accuses me of making up words at least once a month.

That's shittle (means a little bit poo) 🤣

I mean, I’ve never heard it until this mumsnet ad, but it’s pretty onomatopoeic and I assumed it means what it does mean…

i have seen the ad but not the thread. But obviously there is a Scottish baby getting shoogled in something.

It means to shake or wobble. Buts it’s much more excellent than both of those words.

Exactly! I was asking whether the poster calls it that, or mixes and matches their languages.

I had no idea that squint was a Scottish word, I mean what is the real name of the squinty bridge?

No, some of us Scottish folk use shoogly for teeth.

Ah ok, we never say downie, aleays duvet.
My mum used to call her/my nightie a 'goonie'....that's a very Scottish word to me!

I'm sure some do.
I like the word 'shooglie' but have a phobia of loose teeth so try not to think too much about them....😬

Used frequently in Scotland "the boss' coat is on a shoogly peg". It's means wobble or shake gently

Mine too. It is!

i never realised that wasn’t widely known. Scottish parents and I live in England.

I knew this thread would appear. I was mainly annoyed they put quote narks round it. That's not how you should treat words from another language.

You wouldn't type the following:

I think I just experienced "déjà vu"
'Great Expectations' is an example of a "bildungsroman"

It means to rock, you'd shoogle a pram.
Also Oor Wullie comes from Auchenshoogle.
Can you tell I'm Scottish
